Leaving Finland and getting settled in Germany.




I left to the airport around 3pm with my family and with an exchange student living in my room while i'm abroad. There I said goodbye to my family and went trough the security check and proceeded to my gate. When the boarding began I found my seat and waited for the plane to leave and to see Finland for the last time for a years time.
 I arrived to Hamburg without any problem. A Rotary member was waiting for me at the airport in Hamburg. He drove me to the central train station in Hamburg from where I took the train to Bremen. In Bremen I changed trains and took a train that would go to Elsfleth. When I finally arrived to my final destination I was surprised at the train station by all my host families. It was late and dark and I was tired but I think it was still a very nice and warm welcoming.





I have a really nice host family and they live on a really beautiful place in Elsfleth. Their house is located near a small and beautiful lake and also near a river that has a nice sand beach. 
So far I have seen the town where I'm attending school and I've seen the surrounding nature of the place where I'm staying. The town where I attend to school is called Brake. Brake is quite small with about 16000 inhabitants. Still Brake is a really nice town and it has all the basic things that a town needs. 

I will be posting more after a few days.

First post and a quick trip to Hongkong before going to Germany.

I'm a 17 year old boy from Finland and this blog is about my exchange year in Germany. In Germany I will be living in a small town called Elsfleth. I'm leaving to Elsfleth 24.8. First i'm flying to Hamburg from where i'm taking the train to a city called Bremen. In Bremen I'll be picked up by my first host family.
I'll be posting now and then during my whole exchange year.




Hongkong




I went to Hongkong with my father and my girlfriend. Just a quick trip and a proper goodbye before I start my exchange year in Elsfleth. We ate good food, went sightseeing and shopped a lot(especially my girlfriend).
